i bought my machine from Sears. about 2 years later, i broke the thing that holds the hose on. i was able to get 2 new ones through sears service. then i broke one of the new ones, so im on my last hose bracket. last year i broke the handle. i went to sears and found out they no longer carry parts for this machine since it wasn't sold under the sears name. i ended up welding the handle back together. i don't know were you can get parts for the machine now. keep driving by the house where you found it, you might see the hose lying out by the street some day.
